Peter Shaw, Chief Executive of DP Poland said:
"Momentum is continuing to build, with a record number of store
openings and 51% growth in System Sales in 2017. The Group EBITDA
loss increased, 2017 on 2016, impacted by the high number of new
corporate store openings in 2017 (stores are initially loss
making), margin pressures from inflation in food and labour costs
and more aggressive price promotion as we responded to competitive
marketing activity.
The greatest volume of System Sales growth over the last 2 years
has come from the opening of 31 stores, 2016-17, corporate and
sub-franchised. These 31 stores, the majority of the estate, are
still immature and as such have significantly lower sales than the
more mature stores. The key focus for new stores is to generate
sales and acquire customers, EBITDA should follow as the customer
count builds. Our most mature corporate stores of 6+ years
delivered significantly higher sales and EBITDA in 2017 than our
original mature store model predicted.
Our commissary delivered robust growth in gross profit from
royalties on sub-franchised store sales and margin on food sales to
stores. However we are very mindful of sub-franchisee profitability
and, in the context of cost inflation, manage our margins on food
sales carefully.
The buoyant Polish consumer economy continues to provide
positive conditions for growth, but also brings challenges through
greater competition and wage inflation. Looking forward, European
cheese prices began to fall in Q1 2018 and are predicted to fall
further this year as supply increases.
As the profile of the store estate matures we can expect to see
improvement in Group EBITDA on the back of continuing robust growth
in System Sales."

Chairman's Statement
Double digit like-for-likes(2) and a record number of store
openings delivered robust growth in both System Sales(1) and
Revenue for YE 2017 on the back of a strong performance in 2016. We
finished 2017 with a store estate more than 50% larger than it was
at the beginning of the year and an expanded commissary capacity to
service our growing store estate over the next 5+ years.
Group EBITDA(3) performance for the full year was impacted by
inflation in both food and labour costs in the second half, coupled
with strong price promotion in support of sales, resulting in a
greater loss than we had anticipated, marginally greater than the
loss for 2016. While frustrating we have experienced an easing of
those inflationary pressures in the first months of 2018.
Our most mature stores are now performing more strongly than we
had originally anticipated, in both sales and EBITDA. Mature store
performance and the growth of our younger stores give us confidence
in maintaining momentum in store roll-out and providing the
requisite support that that roll-out requires, including the
expansion of our commissary capacity and continued marketing
investment. Growing sales bring greater economies of scale in
procurement and greater efficiencies in marketing, our trial of
national television advertising in Q1 2018 demonstrated the
potential of that marketing channel.
Our commissary revenue stream delivered robust growth in gross
profit(6) in 2017, from both sales royalties and food sales to
sub-franchisees, albeit that our margin was impacted by inflation
in food costs. We are very mindful of the profitability of our
sub-franchise partners and the importance of sharing in both the
impact of food cost rises and the benefits when food costs fall.
Our second commissary came on stream at the end of the summer,
expanding our capacity to supply up to 150 stores with fresh dough
and ingredients.
The majority of our 19 store openings in 2017 were corporate and
as previously reported we expect that to continue to be the case
over the next few years as we drive expansion. 4 of the 19 store
openings in 2017 were sub-franchised. While the investment case in
corporate stores is increasingly compelling we continue actively to
market and encourage sub-franchising, convinced of the advantages
of a mixed corporate/sub-franchised system, evidenced by most
Domino's markets. We expect the number of sub-franchise openings to
grow as confidence in the Domino's sub-franchise model builds.
Store roll-out was further supported by our latest fund raising
in June 2017 of GBP5.2m before expenses.
We look to maintain the momentum of expansion as we drive
towards critical mass. In the short term our Group EBITDA is
impacted by the costs of a high proportion of immature corporate
stores and the costs of running a well-resourced store opening team
and an expanded commissary capacity. As the estate matures and
store openings become a smaller proportion of the total store
estate and commissary capacity is utilised we should see
improvement in Group EBITDA.
I would like to thank our team and our sub-franchisees for
another record year of expansion and for maintaining that momentum
into 2018.
Chief Executive's Review
Group performance
Group EBITDA(3) losses increased by 13% (GBP1.78m) in 2017
versus (GBP1.58m) in 2016, at average exchange rates for 2017(4)
and 2016(5) , impacted mainly by inflationary pressures on food and
labour costs in the second half of the year.
At constant exchange rates(4) Group EBITDA losses increased by
6% 2017 on 2016.
The Group loss for the period of (GBP2.63 m(4) ) was an increase
of 6% on 2016.
Store performance
System Sales(1) were up 51%, 2017 on 2016, as a result of 17%
like-for-like(2) store System Sales growth 2017 on 2016, healthy
growth from non-like-for-like(7) stores and the opening of 19 new
stores during the year.
The 2017 like-for-like performance of 17% was on the back of 27%
like-for-like growth in 2016, representing 49% compound
like-for-like growth over 2 years 2016-17. Q4 2017 was our 21(st)
consecutive quarter of double digit like-for-like System Sales
growth.
We took the decision towards the end of 2015 to accelerate store
roll-out, based on the encouraging performance of our most mature
stores and that of stores opened in new cities in 2015. 12 new
stores were opened in 2016 and 19 new stores in 2017. As a result,
by YE 2017 57% of our store estate was less than 2 years old and
35% less than 1 year old. Over 24 months, 1(st) January 2016 to
31(st) December 2017 we expanded our geographic presence from 4 to
24 towns and cities. By the same token our most mature corporate
stores continued to grow year-on-year and by YE 2017 had
outperformed our original expectations, in both average weekly unit
sales (AWUS) and store EBITDA. We have started to split(8) the
delivery areas of some of these mature stores.
Achieving this momentum in store roll-out, underpinned by the
facts of mature store performance, has taken investment. Effective
customer acquisition is vital in the early months of a store's
opening and we support our stores through a range of sales and
marketing initiatives to build initial sales and acquire customers.
The costs of marketing in those early months are paid back as the
customer base of each store grows and the brand becomes established
in each new location.
Since Q4 2016 we have seen an increase in the cost of sales, due
to inflation in food costs, notably the price of cheese, plus wage
inflation due to increased general employment and greater
competition for delivery drivers. While managing these increases
through Q4 2016 - Q3 2017 by careful control of pricing and
promotion, Q4 2017 saw a sharper uplift in cost inflation,
compounded by greater competitive marketing activity, requiring
more aggressive price promotion on our part. While the economics of
our mature stores are robust enough to weather these impacts on
costs our immature stores are less so and as such total store
EBITDA was impacted in 2017.
In Q1 2018 we have started to see a softening in food cost
inflation. The price of cheese is determined by the European dairy
market and is a function of milk supply, which is forecast to
increase through 2018. As such we expect the price of cheese to
fall further during 2018. As our procurement volumes grow we will
further benefit from growing economies of scale. Wage inflation is
a function of the health of the Polish economy and demand for
delivery drivers. While the competition for drivers remains we are
seeing an improvement in recruitment and retention in Q1 2018,
perhaps due to the recognition of the benefits of working for
Domino's over other employers.
Store roll-out
We crossed the 50-store mark in October 2017, finishing the year
with 54 stores. 19 openings, 15 corporate and 4 sub-franchised.
2017 was our biggest year of openings to-date.

future.
At YE 2017 we were operating stores in 24 towns and cities.
To-date in 2018 we have 56 stores in 25 towns and cities.
Store splits will increase in 2018, meaning improved service
delivery times, happier and more loyal customers and more efficient
deployment of store labour. It is worth noting that store splits
impact like-for-likes, with a proportion of the split store's
customers reallocated to the new store. The sales of the original
store are expected to re-build over time, as evidenced in other
Domino's markets.
We saw an increase in store CAPEX costs, driven by increased
demand for building and services, reflective of the buoyant Polish
economy.
We are planning to have up to 70 stores open by YE 2018.
Sub-franchisees
In 2017 4 stores were opened by sub-franchisees and 2 were
acquired from sub-franchisees, 1 of which we expect to be
sub-franchised again in the near future.
There is no doubt that the established success model worldwide
for recruiting Domino's sub-franchisees is converting existing
Domino's store managers and area managers, they understand how to
operate successful stores and are convinced of the opportunity. At
the same time we continue to market to and encourage third parties
to consider franchising the Domino's system. One of our most
successful sub-franchisees joined us without any previous Domino's
experience and they are now operating 3 stores, 2 sub-franchised
and 1 under management contract.
Commissary
To support our store roll-out we opened a second commissary in
August 2017, increasing our supply capacity from 50 to 150 stores,
including our Warsaw facility. Located in ód , in the centre of the
country, the new commissary is very well placed on the Polish
motorway network, giving us the benefit of improved distribution
costs to our stores in the north, west and south. While the
investment in such a facility might be viewed as 'capital light' in
comparison to commissary expansion in other Domino's markets, the
new commissary represents the biggest investment project in our
history. Expanding commissary capacity has added to Direct Costs,
balanced in part by the savings in distribution costs.
Commissary gross profit(6) , derived from sub-franchised store
sales royalties and margin on food sales, grew in 2017, although
the opportunity to add margin was tempered by inflation in food
costs. We are mindful of supporting our sub-franchisees when costs
rise, as well as sharing in the margin benefits when costs fall. As
well as food cost pressures our sub-franchisees faced the same wage
pressures as our corporate stores. We work in close partnership
with our sub-franchisees, looking at how to manage costs more
effectively and how to drive and sustain sales growth.
Marketing and Innovation
In Q4 we introduced a new ordering channel, the Domino's Bot.
Domino's Bot operates on Facebook Messenger using artificial
intelligence (AI). Facebook made this AI platform available in late
summer 2017 and Domino's Poland was the first Domino's market in
the world to develop a Domino's ordering channel on it. The
Domino's Bot ordering experience is very user friendly and is
particularly popular among our customers aged 18-24. It was
launched with a competition hosted by 3 of Poland's most popular
YouTube bloggers, each with hundreds of thousands of followers. We
saw a rapid uptake of Domino's Bot and a significant proportion of
sales is now ordered via this new channel.
75% of all delivery sales were ordered online in 2017, compared
to 71% in 2016, positioning Poland among the top Domino's markets
in the world for online ordering. We anticipate that this
proportion of delivery sales ordered on line will continue to
increase.
Through the year we introduced a number of new pizza recipes
including Buffalo Chicken, Pulled Pork and Greek Style.
We have seen an increase in competitive marketing activity as
the market responds to increased consumer spending, as reflected in
the GDP measure of internal consumption. 2 delivery aggregators
have been particularly active in marketing, including television
and poster campaigns.
June fund raising
In June 2017 we raised GBP5.2m before expenses. The new placing
of shares represented approximately 8.2% of the Company's enlarged
share capital post placing. The funds were raised to maintain the
roll-out of new stores with a mix of corporate store openings and
loans to sub-franchisees to open stores. An element of the
fundraising was earmarked for additional marketing investment plus
investment in technology to further improve interaction with
customers.
Outlook and current trading
We tested national television advertising for the first time in
January and February 2018 with 2x 2-week campaigns; the sales
response was strong with like-for-like growth in System Sales
ranging between 30-40% during each of those television advertised
fortnights. Overall January like-for-like System Sales were 24% and
February 18%. This test has convinced us that television will
become an important medium for us when we reach the critical mass
to justify it on a regular basis.
We have opened 2 stores so far in 2018 with 56 stores open
to-date. We will continue to maintain the momentum of store
roll-out through 2018, targeting 70 stores by YE 2018. We maintain
our target of 100 stores by YE 2020.
The pressures on margins that we experienced in the second half
of 2017, and in particular Q4, have been easing through Q1 2018.
The price of cheese is softening and the fight for talent is
becoming less intense as the attraction of working for Domino's
versus other employers becomes clearer.
I am delighted that we are to be awarded a Gold Franny by our
franchisor Domino's Pizza International (DPI) in recognition of our
performance in 2017. Gold Frannies are awarded each year to a small
proportion of Domino's franchisees in recognition of operational
excellence, product quality, brand stewardship and growth. This is
our second consecutive award, having received a Gold Franny for our
2016 performance.
As well as our own efforts our performance has been supported by
the continuing growth of the Polish economy, providing helpful
conditions for expansion through healthy consumer demand. These
positive macro conditions are forecast to continue through 2018 and
we look forward to another year of robust growth.
Finance Director's review
Overview
2017 was a record year for store opening as we crossed the
50-store mark, to reach 54 stores open by YE 2017.
Sales from new stores and 17% like-for-like(2) System Sales(1)
growth delivered 51% growth in overall System Sales. In Q4 2017 we
achieved our 21(st) consecutive quarter of double digit
like-for-like System Sales growth.
17% like-for-like growth in System Sales was diluted by c. 1
percentage point due to store splitting in Warsaw. We expect more
splitting in 2018, in Warsaw and in non-Warsaw stores. Store splits
improve labour and delivery efficiency and customer service,
resulting in happier customers and repeat purchases.
During Q1-Q3 2016 we experienced deflation in food costs. In Q4
2016 we saw food prices start to rise and continue in 2017. At the
same time we also experienced wage inflation, underpinned by
increases in the minimum wage, the introduction of more generous
social benefits, reduction in the retirement age and growth in GDP.
From the broader macro-economic viewpoint wage inflation translates
to an increase in internal consumption, which should in-turn
stimulate demand and sales growth. We have been managing these
inflationary pressures through menu pricing and efficiencies in
procurement, however in Q4 2017 inflation was above our
expectations and impacted margin. Our most mature corporate stores
were able to withstand the impact of these margin pressures better
than our younger stores, with those less than 2 years old most
impacted. We are very aware of our sub-franchisees' margins and we
look to absorb at least some of those inflationary pressure through
sensitive management of our commissary margins.
The outlook for 2018 is looking more positive with regard to
cost inflation, with an easing in the price of cheese and a
levelling off in wage rates.
In 2017 we continued to accelerate store expansion, opening 19
stores and adding 14 towns/cities. In the period January-March 2018
we added 2 stores and 1 more town. To-date in 2018 there are 56
Domino's Pizza stores in 25 towns and cities.
We are targeting up to 70 stores open by the year end.
To support store openings and the continuing growth in System
Sales we expanded our commissary capacity in 2017 with the
construction of a new facility on the outskirts of ód , a large
city in the centre of the country. We have approached this
investment with the same capital light model that we applied to our
Warsaw facility. The combined capacity of both commissaries is c.
150 stores.
Selling, General and Administrative expenses (S,G&A)
In 2017 Selling, General and Administrative expenses (S,G&A)
were 21% of System Sales an 8 percentage point improvement on 2016
(2016 29%), measured using the actual average exchange rates for
2017 and 2016.
The opening of new stores in new towns and cities requires
investment in the store expansion team and additional area managers
to oversee both corporate and sub-franchised store performance. As
we open more stores these additional costs will become
proportionately less significant and the overall impact of
S,G&A on Group EBITDA will reduce.
As our national coverage of stores grows the prospect of regular
national television advertising becomes more realistic, both in
terms of the efficiency of media spend and the availability of
Domino's Pizza to potential consumers. We trialled our first TV
campaign in January and February 2018 with strong sales
results.
Direct costs
In preparation for many more store openings and continuing
growth in System Sales we extended our commissary capacity in 2017
with the construction of a new commissary facility in ód . This
additional commissary capacity impacted our Direct Costs through
additional rent and operating costs, production labour and
warehousing labour. As System Sales grow the impact on Direct Costs
will become less marked and the benefits of lower production costs
and warehouse product handling costs will be seen in further
improved corporate store EBITDA and commissary gross profit. The
opening of new stores in new towns and cities results in higher
distribution costs, which in turn will become proportionally less
significant as those costs are spread across still more stores. The
opening of this second commissary in the centre of Poland, reduces
distribution expenses for stores located in the north, south and
west of Poland.

We have acquired 2 sub-franchised stores, with the expectation
that 1 store will be sub-franchised again in the near future, the
second acquisition fitted our corporate store estate requirements
and we expect the sub-franchisee who sold it to us to open another
store this year.
At the year-end 35% of our stores were less than 1 year old and
57% of our stores were less than 2 years old. In 2020 we expect to
have c. 15% of stores less than 1 year old and c. 30% of stores
less than 2 years old.
We saw inflation in the cost of fitting out stores in 2017 which
we do not expect to ease in 2018 as the Polish economy continues to
grow, fueling demand for building and related services.
2 new stores have been opened since 1 January 2018, totaling 56
stores to-date.
Sales Key Performance Indicators
51% growth in System Sales (PLN) was supported by 17%
like-for-like System Sales and the opening of 19 new stores in
2017. 17% like-for-like System Sales growth constitutes a mix of
16% like-for-like System Sales order count growth and a 1% growth
in average net check. Delivery System Sales ordered online are
growing, however newly opened stores need time to build online
customers, which dilutes the System average. In certain weeks we
have seen some mature stores hit 90%+ of orders placed online. We
see the potential of digital marketing and digital order fulfilment
continuing to grow, better meeting the needs of our consumers and
adding to our operational efficiencies. In the near future we
expect to see up to 100% of delivery orders placed online in mature
stores.

gains and a decrease of share-based payments

Macro situation in Poland
In 2017 we saw strong GDP growth combined with inflation. The
inflation that we experienced in food and wages was higher than the
general rise in prices of goods and services. GDP growth was
supported by growth in Internal Consumption and by Investments
(Investments since Q4 of 2017). The 3 Month Warsaw Interbank
Offered Rate is virtually unchanged.

1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of preparation
The financial statements have been prepared
on the historical cost basis, with the exception
of certain financial instruments and share based
payments. The consolidated and Company financial
statements of DP Poland plc have been prepared
in accordance with International Financial Reporting
Standards (IFRS) as adopted by the European
Union, IFRIC Interpretations and the Companies
Act 2006 applicable to Companies reporting under
IFRS. The financial statements have been prepared
in accordance with IFRS and IFRIC interpretations
issued and effective or issued and early adopted
as at the time of preparing these statements
(March 2018). The preparation of financial statements
in accordance with IFRS requires the use of
certain critical accounting estimates. It also
requires management to exercise judgement in
the process of applying the Company's accounting
policies.
2. REVENUE
Revenue represents amounts received from the
sale of goods from the Group's principal continuing
activity, being the operation and sub-franchising
of Domino's Pizza stores. All of the revenue
is derived in Poland. Revenue is measured at
fair value of consideration net of returns and
value added taxes. Revenue from pizza delivery,
commissary and equipment sales is recognised
on delivery to customers and sub-franchisees.
Royalties are based on sub-franchised store
sales to customers and are recognised as the
income is earned by our sub-franchisees. Core
revenues are ongoing revenues including sales
to the public from corporate stores, sales of
materials and services to sub-franchisees, royalties
received from sub-franchisees and rents received
from sub-franchisees. Other revenues are non-recurring
transactions such as the sale of stores, fittings
and equipment to sub-franchisees. Revenue recognised
in the income statement is analysed as follows:
Revenue is divided into 'core revenues'
and 'other revenues' as follows:
2017 2016
GBP GBP
--------------------------- ------------------- -----------
Core revenue 9,663,088 6,030,869
Other revenue 714,689 1,525,849
10,377,777 7,556,718
--------------------------- ------------------- -----------
3. SEGMENTAL REPORTING
The Board monitors the performance of the corporate
stores and the commissary operations separately
and therefore those are considered to be the
Group's two operating segments. Corporate store
sales comprise sales to the public. Commissary
operations comprise sales to sub-franchisees
of food, services and fixtures and equipment.
Commissary operations also include the receipt
of royalty income from sub-franchisees. The
Board monitors the performance of the two segments
based on their contribution towards Group EBITDA
- excluding non-cash items, non-recurring items
and store pre-opening expenses. In accordance
with IFRS 8, the segmental analysis presented
reflects the information used by the Board.
No separate balance sheets are prepared for
the two operating segments and therefore no
analysis of segment assets and liabilities is
presented.

Non-recurring
Items
Non-recurring items include items which are
not sufficiently large to be classified as exceptional,
but in the opinion of the Directors, are not
part of the underlying trading performance of
the Group. The provision for additional VAT
payable has been reversed following changes
to a previous ruling by the Polish VAT authorities.

The tax on the Group's loss before tax differs
from the theoretical amount that would arise
using the tax rate applicable to profits of
the consolidated entities as follows:
2017 2016
GBP GBP
----------------------------------- ------------ ------------
Loss before
tax (2,634,519) (2,493,401)
Tax credit calculated
at applicable rate of
19% (500,559) (473,746)

Income not subject

Tax losses for which no deferred
income tax asset was recognised 426,502 381,359

statement
------------------------------------- ------------ ------------
The Directors have reviewed the tax rates applicable
in the different tax jurisdictions in which
the Group operates. They have concluded that
a tax rate of 19% represents the overall tax
rate applicable to the Group.
7. LOSS PER SHARE
The loss per ordinary share has
been calculated as follows:
2017 2017 2016 2016
GBP GBP
Weighted Profit Weighted Profit
average / (loss) average / (loss)
number after number after
of shares tax of shares tax
--------- ------------ ------------ ------------ ------------
Basic 142,164,031 (2,634,519) 128,931,485 (2,493,401)
Diluted 142,164,031 (2,634,519) 128,931,485 (2,493,401)
---------- ------------ ------------ ------------ ------------
The weighted average number of shares for the
year excludes those shares in the Company held
by the employee benefit trust. At 31st December
2017 the basic and diluted loss per share is
the same, as the vesting of JOSS, SIP or share
option awards would reduce the loss per share
and is, therefore, anti-dilutive.
